What are the prerequisites for using this skill?

This skill requires the @johnlindquist/obsidian-cli package to be installed globally via npm to perform link-aware operations.

Will it preserve my YAML frontmatter?

Yes, all operations are designed to respect and preserve YAML frontmatter, tags, and other metadata specific to the Obsidian environment.

Does this skill work with standard markdown files?

While it can handle standard markdown, it is specifically optimized for Obsidian vaults where preserving [[wiki-link]] integrity and vault structure is a priority.

Can I automate my daily note workflow?

Yes, the skill includes a specific 'daily' command to create or open today's note using your vault's default daily note configuration.

How does it prevent broken links during moves?

Unlike the standard 'mv' command, this skill uses obsidian-cli to automatically scan your vault and update every internal reference to a note when its location changes.
